Lascia la moglie Janie Liszewski e il figlio Wolfgang nato nel 1991 che ha dato così la notizia:

. @EddieVanHalen was one of the nicest guys I ever worked with and we shared so many laughs together. His influence on music and especially the guitar has been immeasurable. He was an absolute legend. Eddie, I’ll see you on the other side, my friend. Love, Ozzy.

Oh NO! Speechless. A trailblazer and someone who always gave everything to his music. A good soul. I remember first seeing him playing at the Starwood in 1976 and he WAS Eddie Van Halen. So shocked and sad. My condolences to Wolfie and the family. https://t.co/ExAWzFAEYJ

My brother just texted me a generational truth for 70’s/80’s kids:
“That unbelievable mindfuck of listening to ‘Eruption’ while staring at the album cover.”
